RodeoHouston

Have you ever been to RodeoHouston? Well if your answer is no, you better find a plane, train, or automobile to get you there because this is one rodeo you do not want to miss! RodeoHouston hosts more than a million people and a million dollars in prize money during its twenty day run! Along with the rodeo, there is one of the biggest livestock shows in the country, hosting some of the best livestock that people have. I was there for a few days and still didn't have enough time to see all of the sites offered. Out of all of the places I have been this year, RodeoHouston is by far my favorite. I bought a ticket for $22 and saw two hours of rodeo and other western acts such as wagon races, calf scrable and the mutton bustin' and if that wasn't enough I saw Toby Keith in concert for under fifty dollars! Where else are you able to do that? I am a rodeo enthusiast, if you are as well plan for next years RodeoHouston, I'm sure it will be bigger and better!!
Miss Rodeo Nevada '08, Anna Bavor, and myself taking a photo opportunity!
Instead of "where's Waldo", it is "where's the crazy blonde girl named Brooklynn who is Miss Rodeo New Mexico?" :)

You've never seen a barrelman look this good!! ;)

Right above my head are 6 Megatrons for instant replays and commentating from Boyd Polhamus and Bob Tallman! Impressive, I know!

Look very carefully and you can see the bucking chutes. We were sitting in the first tier of seats and we barely could make out the people in the arena.

And here is the middle of the arena in picture #2!


And in picture #3, if you look close you will see that this is the timed event end! Huge uh?

I needed a closer view, but maybe this was too close?!
You don't think he sees me, do you?

Boot Camp

After a very informative rodeo queen seminar known as 'Boot Camp' wrapped up in Ogden, Utah the fist weekend in March, Alex Romero and myself ackowledged the inner energy within us, Mountain Dew! As many of you know I am an avid Mountain Dew drinker and any moment I can show my enthusiasm for this drink, I will! But all joking aside, Alex and I were able to walk away from the clinic with an enormous amount of knowledge! Everything from the size of an association bronc saddle to the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of what to wear for each part of a rodeo queen contest. By the time my year is over as Miss Rodeo New Mexico I will officially be a "tom-boy" gone bad by becoming a girl! Who knew that with a little instruction and guidance I would be able to do my own hair, make-up, and even pick out my clothes; man won't my mother be so proud of me!! Ha Ha Ha :)

Good luck at the New Mexico State Fair Queen contest, Alex! I know you will make Valencia County proud!
